October 21, 201312 yr Hi guys, We have a local eBay like platform in Switzerland named Ricardo, a VW Camper polybag sold for 52CHF yesterday, that's 57$! Not bad...should make those with several of them happy
October 21, 201312 yr I would be thrilled with anything over $20...I've put two up for auction and only came away with $14 and $16. After fees it wasn't nearly as much as I had hoped for. Good score for somebody!
October 21, 201312 yr That's interesting and cool. I'm not going to lie, we managed to only snag one of these and we totally opened it and put it together next to our big model VW.

Good score for somebody! Looks like I am not the only one. The last two I sold for on ebay also came up pretty disappointing. I forgot how much they were sold for, but definitely not more than $16.
October 21, 201312 yr You're selling them too early. Hold them for a few months to make sure that the Lego stores have sold all they have in stock and then cash in around Christmas.
October 21, 201312 yr True jeff_14. To each their own also. I have one opened/built and one sealed poly...unless one of my regular customer asks for it at a decent price, the earliest I will post (since I only have ONE spare) is next year at this time before the holidays. The polybag is easy to store.
October 21, 201312 yr You're selling them too early. Hold them for a few months to make sure that the Lego stores have sold all they have in stock and then cash in around Christmas. Eh not necessarily, just need to use BIN. I think this polybag could get to $25, but I have been selling them for 18.99 BIN. I will take that to get the money back now. Why? So I could put in more orders. I have 15 VW polybags. I wouldn't have been able to do that had I not cleared 300$ off it and the clone trooper and the employee minifigs.
October 21, 201312 yr I think there's more money to be made in these things longer term. Everyone is praising them as the best polybag yet made so they should be quite profitable as people who missed out discover their error in a few months.
October 21, 201312 yr I'm in no rush to sell mine as the only way is up I think, especially when we get EOL rumours of the 10220 to rekindle interest. I have more polybags than boxes and haven't the time to check to see if I have any real gems or not.
October 21, 201312 yr Polys like this one need to be held longer. Wait until they become more rare. Hide them in a closet and forget about them, and then take them out in the future. 6 months from now they will be in the $25-30 range all day in my opinion.
October 21, 201312 yr Very interesting. I have not seen a lot of VW polybags go over $20 here in the US.
October 22, 201312 yr You guys are selling for $14 after fees? These will be $25 a year from now....guaranteed. Still small money....but it's easy to toss them in a cupboard behind the macaroni and cheese and forget about them for a year...then double. These aren't galaxy squads and store employees (worthless in a year).
October 22, 201312 yr I think that you should. You could also have the Best Offer feature there if you cannot sell the sets at the price you want to. My last 500 or so listings have been BIN with automatic best offer accept/deny enabled. I've sold more stuff quicker this way for more money. Buyers are often impatient and this reels them in.

These aren't galaxy squads and store employees (worthless in a year). May I ask why you think the store employee will be worthless in a year? I ask because I have one in hand and need to decide to sell or hold.

October 22, 201312 yr Yeah, I agree. What's with the hate on the Lego employee? It's not like they are union members... Way too many wrong information about sets being EOL? :D
October 22, 201312 yr Author Well, I put mine up for sale for 25CHF, got 2 people watching the auction already. I'm happy if I can sell it for 25 or more

Personal vendetta I'd imagine from his tussle with that Lego store employee featuring a ponytail over some polybag freebies.
October 29, 201312 yr Author Just an update, I put mine up for sale last week. Current bids have it sold at 46$...! If there's one advice I can give to people it's to stock up on the large VW camper set. If the simple polybag gets sold for 50$, imagine the full model within a year of retirement!
